On The Indian Question

Tech CEOs experience Indians differently than the majority of Americans. They seem them as friendly and loyal busy-bees who happily be indentured laptop slaves via their H-1B Visas. Indians don’t give them much trouble about promotions or disagreeing with their business strategy. They don’t rock the boat because the other option is to go back to India.

This isn’t how most Americans experience Indians.

Americans know Indians as the overly polite customer service person on the other side of the phone who repeats back to them everything they say in broken English while not fixing their problem until it’s escalated to a white supervisor.

Indians are mostly in the background, but the little experience Americans have with them isn’t admirable. Women experience them as aggressive and rapey. Men don’t think about them that much because they aren’t competing against them in the dating market.

If H1-B visas were given to Germans, a cleaner and more orderly people — Americans would still be pissed about their reduced wages, but there would be less rage. The difference in cultural values between Indians and Americans is just too vast.

India is culturally opposite of most European countries. India is extremely dirty. Indians live in squalor. When they move here, they tend to favor other Indians in hiring. Indian women become more liberal and moralizing than the average liberal white woman.

Indians are relentless strivers and will say and do whatever it takes to get ahead. Tech CEO’s see this as “hard working.” Americans see this as untrustworthy and soulless.

To borrow the language of Human Resource Departments — Indians usually aren’t a good “culture fit.”

The only solution is to shut down the H-1B program for good and send them back.
